Marvel's whitewashing cop, you want me to save the world?

Chapter 188 Death Comes Knocking

Malekith spoke to Li En as he walked, his voice low and steady, carrying an arrogance that seemed to seep from his very bones: "Midgards, death will soon come for you."

Why not take this opportunity to hand over the Ether to me?

I can give you a chance to join the glorious Dark Elves.

He stopped fifty meters in front of Li En, without even turning around to look at the skull that was setting his spaceship on fire.

Tony stared at the line of dark elf soldiers, remained silent for two seconds, then turned to Li En, his tone filled with disbelief: "That's it? The dark elves who once ruled the Nine Realms, are there only this many left?"

This wasn't the scene he had imagined in his mind before coming here.

There must be at least several thousand soldiers, right?

Now, a leader, with twenty or thirty soldiers, has stood right in front of them.

Tony couldn't understand where this guy got his confidence from.

Li En shrugged: "I already said, let's finish this quickly."

"Die, dark elf, for the glory of Asgard!" Thor roared, his body crackling with dense blue arcs of electricity, and charged toward Malekith, wielding Mjolnir.

Just as Thor's hammer was about to strike its target, Thor vanished into thin air.

Tony reacted incredibly quickly; his visor snapped shut, and the reactor in his chest glowed with a blue light as it began to store energy: "What's going on?"

"Sir, you are currently at the center of the intersection of the nine realms. The surrounding space is extremely unstable. Mr. Thor has probably been randomly teleported to another world."

Jarvis's analytical voice came through the communication channel.

"I see." Tony's face turned cold, and he raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

In the surrounding emptied buildings, one after another, suits of Mark armor rose simultaneously from the windows and rooftops.

The sky was densely filled with steel legions, and at the same time, cold white orbs of energy were lit up in the palms of all the machines.

Hundreds of energy cannons rained down on the ground, but these beams malfunctioned as they passed through the air.

Many of the attacks vanished into thin air halfway through, swallowed up by unstable spatial rifts, with only a dozen or so actually reaching the ground.

But those dozen or so shots were enough to shatter the Dark Elves' formation.

Before the soldiers could even scream, they were pierced by the energy beam and turned into ashes.

Malekith had fewer than eight men left behind.

Malekith remained standing in place, his expression completely unchanged.

He continued in that low, steady tone: "Even if you kill me here today, it will mean nothing."

Death will eventually come knocking. The Nine Realms need us Dark Elves to protect them, and they also need the power of the Aether.

"You alone have absolutely no chance against them."

"Them? Who do you mean?" Tony frowned.

The dark elf leader before them was clearly not afraid of death and knew that his forces were far from sufficient.

But he still stood there, muttering something about "death" and "them" over and over again, as if conveying some kind of warning.

"He might be talking about Thanos," Li En casually remarked, his tone as light as if he were discussing today's cafeteria menu.

"Lee En." Tony turned his head, his voice deepening, "Are you hiding something from me again?"

""

What am I hiding? No one can predict the future.

I might indeed know some things about how the future is going, but so what?

Li En curled his lip, his gaze passing over Tony and landing on Malekith, who had a resolute expression.

"Just because we know that a powerful enemy will come to the Nine Realms in the future, does that mean we Earthlings have to kneel down and wait for someone to protect us?"

That's impossible; we just need to continue improving our strength.

When that huge threat truly arrives, we'll just eliminate it completely.

"No." Malekith's voice finally showed a slight fluctuation. "You have no idea how strong he is."

He has conquered countless planets and galaxies; no legion has ever survived his attacks.

Malekith realized that today's plan might fall through.

The reason he dared to bring his remaining troops and last spaceship to Earth was because he had a different plan.

He wanted the Midgards to understand that there were threats in the universe far more terrifying than the Dark Elves.

The Dark Elves, who are skilled in controlling the Aether particles, can protect them.

Of course, this is all a lie.

As long as Lee Eun dares to use that sword inlaid with the Reality Gem to attack him.

He has a way to break the gem back into ether particles.

Once absorbed into his body, he can regain his supreme power.

But he never expected that this Midgardian not only knew of Thanos's existence, but also didn't care about it at all.

What he didn't know was that a Sorcerer Supreme was sitting on this very planet.

"Alright." Li En raised her hand, interrupting him. "Is that all your last words?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he gripped the hilt of the Rebellious Yama's sword behind his back with his right hand and pulled it outwards.

The moment the dark red blade was exposed to the air, his eyes caught a fleeting, extremely subtle change on Malekith's face.

The muscles at the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and something lit up in his eyes.

look forward to.

Li En abruptly stopped the step he was about to take and stood still again.

"What's wrong? Weren't you going to kill me?" Malekith urged, his voice tinged with barely perceptible anxiety.

His eyes were fixed on the blade of the rebellious Yama, or more precisely, on the gem on the blade that was pulsating with a dark red light.

Tony also detected the anomaly at the same time.

The monitor inside the helmet performed a micro-expression analysis on Malekith's facial muscles, and the data feedback and Jarvis's conclusion popped up simultaneously: "Lee En, something's wrong with this guy. He seems to be waiting for you to attack him."

"He probably has some kind of device on him that can directly absorb the power of the Reality Stone."

Li En curled his lip and casually put the Rebellious Yama back into his back.

With a flick of his wrist, he pulled Hades Requiem out of the spatial storage and casually raised the muzzle of the gun towards Malekith.

"Since I can't use the Reality Stone, I can just find another way."

"Cowardly Midgards!" Malekith roared, drawing a strangely shaped dagger from his waist, his voice finally breaking through the facade of composure.

"Dare to fight head-on? If you're a warrior, come and duel one-on-one!"

His plan was exactly as Li En had predicted.

He possesses a device capable of re-disassembling the Aether from its Reality Gem state.

As long as the opponent attacks with that sword, he can activate the device the instant they make contact, restoring the gem to ether particles and absorbing them into his body, thus turning the tide of the battle.

This is the only reason why he dared to take his remaining clansmen and only spaceship and gamble everything to come to Earth.

But now the person opposite suddenly put away his sword and switched to a gun.

Tony's lips curled slightly beneath his visor: "This guy's actually working pretty hard."

"Effort is effort, but that's all."

Li En raised his right arm, and the muzzle of Hades Requiem began to gather light.

"Let's wrap up early and have more time to go back and study the spaceship."

"That's true, we really don't have enough time."

Tony simultaneously raised his right hand, the energy ring of his palm cannon lit up, and the surrounding Iron Legion also pointed their palms at the few remaining dark elves.

"But when we get back, you'll have to tell me all about Thanos, what exactly he is."

"

"If you still have any sense of honor!" Malekith roared, his eyes wide.

His roar was quickly drowned out by the roar of hundreds of energy beams firing simultaneously.

Moments later, only a charred burn mark remained on the spot.

Meanwhile, Frank, lying on the spaceship, finally coated the last piece of the outer shell with his own flames.

The crescent-shaped dark elf warship emitted a low rumble.

It began to slowly turn its direction and fly towards the location of the Umbrella base.
